Testing atomic resolution Bragg coherent diffraction imaging at the EBS diffraction limited storage ring

Diffraction limited storage ring (DLSR) synchrotrons such as the ESRF-EBS, APS - Upgrade and others increase the coherent hard x-ray flux density by 2-3 orders of magnitude compared to previous sources. We propose a novel coherent diffraction imaging technique to capitalize on this revolutionary flux and enable near-atomic to atomic resolution Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (AR-BCDI). This method is based on a incorporating molecular dynamic simulations and maximum likelihood estimation methods. We request beamtime at the upgraded ESRF-EBS beamline ID01 to gather the necessary multi-reflection Bragg peak data and demonstrate its feasibility which has been rigorously tested via simulation. ID01 is one of a few possible facilities currently world-wide that has sufficient coherent flux density for this demonstration.
